Santa Picture Parade

How about a picture parade with visits with Santa???
I was very happy that this year's visit was a success(unlike last year!).

Cristian and Santa

Cristian did NOT like Santa at all! He cried the whole time. Once Santa was removed from the set, the rest of the picture session went well.

We compared the pictures to the one that we took of him last year on our visit (we took him to the mall in Guate) and he looks so much like a big boy now!

Those of you who have shared pictures have great looking children. Congrats.

I am praying for those of you who are waiting for your babies.

This is the first year that no one cried at the sight of Santa!

Christmas past brought us pictures of screaming kids.... and a very unhappy Santa... (We even had the SAME outfits as Christian in one of our pics too!)

This though was to be a good year! (it helped that we had JUST saw Madagascar 2!)

So... my plan on getting good pics with Santa in the future... load the kids up on Cartoons, popcorn, and soda!

I don't know about calls to Santa but I do know and have used a place that send free letters to the kids from Santa.

Free Letters from Santa - Free personalized Printable Santa Letters


That link has other links for calls and such. I was able to print some letters up too. I want the kids to believe for as long as possible. lol

fun thread!
We had to go to the mall 2nite, so we made an impromptu visit to the 'Santa' side of the mall, too
Cristian was actually excited to see 'Santa', I was very surprised! Connor was not so thrilled. So I took Cristian on over and sat him on his lap . While I was close, 'Santa' asked me what Connor's name was, as Connor was still on the edge of the stage deciding if it was safe or not. I told him, then he looks over at Connor and called out to him. Connor of course hadn't heard 'Santa' ask me his name, so when 'Santa' called him by name and asked him to come closer, he was absolutely SHOCKED . After that, he warmed right up to the big guy

Gage wasn't too impressed with Santa this year so DH had to hold him. Oh well, maybe next year we will get some good pics.
